*****UPDATE********

FREDERICK COUNTY, MD – The Frederick County Health Department announced Monday that they will be canceling all of their remaining flu clinics, because they have run out of the flu shot.

They say an “overwhelming” number of people attended their flu shot clinic, this past Friday, and the department has not received another supply.

This year there will be two vaccines: one for regular seasonal flu and one for pandemic H1N1 flu. The following clinics are currently planned to give seasonal flu vaccine only.  Please note this may change after we receive pandemic H1N1 vaccine.  Any changes will be announced.
